French documentary shoot entirely in GH1

gabilourson — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 08:35:22 +0000

hello all, here is a French television documentary shot entirely in GH1 by a director that I know. Of course, it is not subtitled, but still I wanted to show here what the GH1 gives a broadcast use. The link will work again some day. Gabi

GH2 Slow Motion Music Video

deturbanator — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 23:48:22 +0000

Unfortunately the slow motion of the video did not come out so prominently. I had the singer sing his song 2x as fast, while I recorded at 60fps. Slowed it down, and then synced the audio. But even at 2 times the speed, the singer had a hard time singing the song. I couldn't imagine making the slow motion effect any bigger.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to improve this effect? Any general comments or criticisms? Feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

Music Video shot with GH2 and old cbrandin 66mb hack

DavidHall — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 04:22:08 +0000

Last week I shot another music video for band 'Ball Of Mayhem'.

Video was shot with one GH2 using cbrandin's old 66mb hack. Some inserts were done with an NEX.

GH2 used 14-42 kit lens, and an ebay bought Canon 50mm FD 1.8 and a Sigma 24mm FD 2.8, with an ebay bought Kenco wide angle adapter used for certain setups.

Tracking shots were done with a skater dolly placed on a pasting table!

This was another zero budget vid and was shot over the course of about five hours, with one take per setup, including the car drop at the start.

Edited with final cut pro, and my first attempt at grading with Magic Bullet.

Updated w/more footage: Epic and GH2

kholi — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:56:03 +0000

Limited time only, because I know this is gonna go south.

The settings are on the vimeo, but here they are again:

EPIC @ 3K 120FPS 8:1 Compression HR Zoom @ 3.5 Soft FX 1/3 ND 0.6

GH2 Standard -2-2-2-2 Zeiss Ultra Prime

Not supposed to be a guessing game, I think it's pretty obvious which one is which so I didn't label them.

This isn't a verus -- it's for my own testing to see how they cut together. Epic's compression goes higher than 8:1, so the quality isn't indicative of what the camera is fully capable of. There's no contest in 4K or 5K (downrezzed to 1080/2k). What-so-ever.

I didn't shoot tight and wide, I grabbed something almost similar to what the Epic was shooting. Anyone can cut together a tight and a wide, try wide and a wide.

Form your own opinions, but for a limited time only. I'm gonna rip it down in a few hours. Video will not be available for download, sorry guys. Next time though, cause I'm gonna do some more testing as we get closer to project dates.

Youth Nationals Bouldering Competition. No Adverse Affects.

mpgxsvcd — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 22:03:33 +0000

I had the chance to shoot video at the Youth Nationals Bouldering Competition this past weekend. My son was competing at Nationals for his first time. They were so many incredible climbers there. These are just a few of them.

I had to shoot with 100% reliable settings that still gave me good quality and reasonable bit rates so I choose the no adverse affects settings. There are no retakes in a live event like this. If you miss one shot you might have missed the climber all together.

Most of the shots in the video were taken in the 720p @ 60 FPS video and stills mode. I took pictures and videos simultaneously.

The Ring death tape inspired promo clip filmed with hacked Gh2

sdope79 — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 06:22:41 +0000

My cinematography showreel (a lot of GH2 stuff in there).

Gabel — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:33:30 +0000

I hope I don't get warned for blatant self-advertising, but I just wanted to share my shoowreel here, there's some GH2 stuff in there (some of it hacked, one shot in the HBR mode). Here's a breakdown: First shot, done with HBR mode and Lomo OCT-19 primes 0:26 Driftwood GOP-3 with Nikon AI primes

0:37 HBR with Lomos

0:48 Cbrandin 66mbit with Lomos

0:56 HBR with Lomos

01:02 Cbrandin 66mbit with Lomos

01:03 Driftwood GOP-3 with Nikon AIs

01:11 HBR with Lomos

01:18 Stock AVCHD with Nikon AIs

01:37 Driftwood GOP-3 with Nikon AIs

01:40 Cbrandin 66mbit with Lomos

01:42 HBR with Lomos

01:55 Driftwood GOP-3 with Nikon AIs

02:04 HBR with Lomos

02:14 HBR with Lomos

(sorry for the double spacing, but otherwise it would all just fall behind each other)

This really shows what an amazing camera the GH2 is! Even unhacked it looks amazing (I think what I got with HBR looks the best to me, but that has more to with my work).

There's also some anamorphic stuff in there, done with my generic anamorphic on an AF100 with a Nikon AI 35mm (third shot, you'll recognize the rest)

And if you like, feel free to check in my site or like me on Facebook!

Two Music Videos with Seaquake

Here are some videos I shot with Seaquake:

Would appreciate some feedback.

past bored - experiment

ehr — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 04:21:06 +0000

So this was shot with quantum 9b, panny 20mm pancake, century optics 16:9 converter, ND filter, diopter, tripod, and a zoom H1 recorder. I learned alot in the process of making this, especially the importance of getting good sound. Next time I'm going to find a sound person. 9b held up great. I only had two problems. One was a clip that seems to have a skipped frame or two. I don't know how to explain it but it seems to speed up for just a fraction of a second...not a big deal it is barely noticeable. The second one was odd. I wanted to shoot at 720 60p for one shot, but could not get the camera to record for more than a second. It is odd because I've used 9b to shoot hours of sports and never had a problem...no errors...nothing. Maybe it is because the shot I was trying to get was kind of dark and I was using a higher ISO setting than I normally use for sports. Or maybe it was the combo of high ISO and the panny lens, which I never use for sports 60p. I don't know it was weird.

Anyway this is my first attempt at a narrative-ish kind of piece. Something other than sports, interviews, and test shots of trees. It was fun. I've learned all kinds of things on this forum that I used for this project...lighting, lenses, settings etc. Thanks Vitaliy, LPowell, Driftwood and everybody that makes this place so informative.

GH2 at Work in Amateur Hands

Ambergris — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:40:30 +0000

Let's face it, the GH2 was built for amateurs. I am an amateur in every aspect of this art form, but I used it a lot this year in some interesting conditions and here is a short clip of some of the results.

It is best watched with earphones in and full screen. All underwater and a couple above water shots are from a GoPro (most notably the third image...looks like crap, but it was too fun a moment to exclude), but the rest are from the GH2 using various hacks. I knew going into this effort it would be more of a learning experience than anything else. I learned about lenses, filters, exposures, film modes, frame rates, etc, etc, all of which I knew none of prior to this year.

I would be surprised if there were many other GH2's in so many different environmental exposures over the last year and I'm happy it made it out in one piece. Any comments or criticisms to are appreciated.

A Day & Night in a minute with the GH2 hack v.1.1 (3.64d)

izash — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:34:31 +0000

This is my first test movie with the new version of Vitaly's GH2 hack. I used Balazer's Cake 1.2 patch and the results are beautiful to my eyes. The cars' motion is so smooth, it almost looks like slomo. The GH2 is one amazing camera, made better by some wonderfully talented people. Shot handheld in Tel Aviv with the Panasonic 20mm/f1.7, edited with FCPX 10.0.3 No color correction or noise reduction. Music: The Beatitudes, composed by Vladimir Martynov, performed by the Kronos Quartet.

Macromouse

Elikas — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:55:44 +0000

A domestic prison drama. One minute film.

Shot with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 and a Nikon 55mm 2.8 macro. No hacks I'm afraid, so I guess this falls into the "shameless self promotion" category. However, I think it's worth sharing the results that a good old-fashioned lens can deliver. Best second-hand deal ever.

Stunning Video of Live Event - Lpowell Settings

Rambo — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:20:38 +0000

This was shot handheld with GH1 hacked with Lpowells 75Mb Peak reliable Settings. 720p 50fps, shutter 1/50, Panasonic 14 -140mm with ND8. The color and clarity blew me away, the broadcaster doing the "live to air show" could not believe the quality from this little camera.

About the production. Shoestring budget film shot over a few days only when friends playing roles were available. I have no real filmaking experience and my first attempt at doing something narrative. Post took the most time as 85% of the audio had to be rerecorded from scratch and Fx work. Overall pretty happy with the result audio could be better but it is what it is. Please note that nobody is trained in any acting skills! ;-)

Anyone like Table Tennis?

mpgxsvcd — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 21:46:42 +0000

Anyone like Table Tennis? This was unhacked footage because I needed the improved Auto Focus of version 1.1. Hacked bit rates would have helped the ETC shots. Notice the CA with the 25mm F1.4 lens in ETC mode. I guess the 25mm is not the superman of lenses I thought it was. Most of the shots are with the 45mm F1.8. That lens is worth its weight in gold.

GH2 Shapes History with Occupy

Short film shot with GH2 + Lomo cinema lenses

ed_lee83 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:57:53 +0000

I know a few peeps here are fans of Lomo lenses (and some are also selling them on here), so I've finally been able to upload a short I DP'ed last year shot here in Hong Kong with the GH2 (unhacked!), filmed entirely with Lomo OCT-19 glass: Standard speeds 18mm (a bit unsharp here), 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 37-140. Plus a 35mm T1.4 for the stills used in the short. Unfortunately I couldn't secure the 1080 version, this was a DVD rip. The short is gonna try some other fests so I have to keep it private viewing for now. It's called "This File Cannot Be Deleted" (director's in-joke) and is in Chinese, so it has English subtitles. The story is loose at best, but I'd say most of you would like to see the quality of the lenses. It was showcased at a film festival here and held up very well on the big screen.

GH2 @3200-12800 ISO (100MBps) live performance

Elikas — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:18:05 +0000

Great song, wonderful performance, awesome low light b&w image. I used Driftwood's Quantum 100 patch, which restricted my two 16GB SD cards to a total of 40 min capacity (instead of 180), slowed down my Mac Pro dramatically, but was absolutely worth it :-) Thank you so much Vitaliy and Driftwood!

Explosions in the Sky in Brixton - A short film - Shot with a hacked GH2@60Fps

Is it just me, or did they improve the quality and got rid of the gamma shift? All my videos seem brighter (i.e. more like the original files)
